Redneck ranger

i forgot to post these pics of when i cut 4 inches off of the roll bar.







i installed the roll bar and bedliner yesterday.

first i cut the bases down to 2 inches and cut 4 pieces of 2 3/4 pipe to go inside them.



then i drilled through the bases/pipe and bolted them together, after that i bolted the bases to the bed and test fit the roll bar.







i then removed the roll bar and set the bedliner in on top of the bases. instead of trying to measure where the holes go i simply used a hammer and pounded around the 2 3/4 pipe intil i cut through the bedliner.



here is the bedliner with the roll bar on.





and here is the truck with the bedliner bolted in and the snorkel extension on.

i bolted the rear mounts to the roll bar and painted them flat black, i will do the same in the front when i get a beter drill.





i also added a ranger logo to the tailgate, i saw somebody else do it and thought it looked good.



 






























thanks for the compliments ;)


here are some beter pics, i had paint left over so i sprayed the tailgate to see how it looks.











 






Lookin good man!

thank you very much, i have alot more to do so keep checking back ;)


is the flat black out of a rattle can?
it looks really good!

yes 97 cents at walmart :D
 






i honestly might do that to the X, cuz the clearcoat on the roof and hood is peeling and looks horrible,

and the flat black looks really good, plus i 97 cents is one mod i can finally afford!:D
 












all i gotta say is wow.. im really impressed with all the work youre doing

its like you take off body panels like its no problem, im amazed


thanks, but taking off body parts is very easy lol.

the hardest part of all this is finding time to do it ;)
 












So are you gonna paint it all one solid color or what? If so, what color?
